RSPH and the Young Health Movement have published a new report examining the positive and negative effects of social media on young people’s health

The report includes a league table of social media platforms according to their impact on young people’s mental health. YouTube topped the table as
the most positive, with Instagram and Snapchat coming out as the most detrimental to young people’s mental health and wellbeing

The Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families has produced a booklet for primary and secondary schools to support all staff working in school
settings to understand how best to help children and young people in their care.

The Anna Freud Learning Network is hosting a series of free, regional workshops to help schools and those working with them to measure and monitor
the mental wellbeing of children and young people. The workshops will be delivered from January to March 2017 across England.
